Hilbert School District

The Hilbert School District in Wisconsin serves 481 students across three schools — Hilbert Elementary (PK–4, 177 students), Hilbert Middle (5–8, 147 students), and Hilbert High (9–12, 157 students) — all sharing one address, which suggests a single PK–12 campus. The district overall is rated 3 stars, ranking 215th of 432 districts (50th percentile), but that middle-of-the-road rating hides wide differences between its schools.

Hilbert Elementary is the clear standout, earning 4 stars in all three reported years and reaching the 75th percentile in 2025–2026. Its 3rd-grade math proficiency was 85.29% against the state's 54.75%, and 4th-grade social studies hit 88.89% versus 63.65% — even though it carries the district's highest free/reduced lunch rate at 40.11%. Hilbert Middle earned 3 stars (60th percentile), with math above the state average at every grade 5–8; 5th-grade math reached 76.92% versus 51.81%. Its 8th-grade social studies climbed from 36.11% to 61.54% in one year, and science rose from 47.22% to 58.97%. Hilbert High is the priority for improvement: 2 stars and 34th percentile, down from the 58th percentile in 2023–2024. Its 10th-grade ACT results trail the state, most sharply in science at 23.26% versus 43.2% — the largest negative gap in the data.

Attendance is a district-wide strength: chronic absenteeism is 4.8% at Elementary, 6.0% at Middle, and 9.4% at High, all well below the state's 17.3%. Hilbert High reports a 100% graduation rate, above the state's 92%. Spending and class size don't track neatly with results here — High spends the most per student ($15,582) with the smallest classes (student-teacher ratio 11.2) yet posts the weakest test outcomes, while Middle spends the least ($11,446). With only 147–177 students per school, year-to-year swings can reflect small cohorts rather than real change.
